R/P - SKYWALKER round 2

[horribleherk]

i really like growers that overcome/invent things to acheive a good harvest & maybe we dont tackle a problem the same way but in the end it gets done i recently seen an air cooler made out of a styrofoam ice chest that uses gal milk jugs frozen & a fan blowing air in through a hole in the top & the air exited out a hole in the side they said 4 jugs lasted about 12 hrs ive been looking at small single room ac units at k-mart a little over 100 bucks i think its rated to cool about a 12x12 room i run my room at night & right now our day time temps are 95+ but my room this morning is about 78 but its gonna get hotter pheno#3 is really showing me some characteristics that i like it could very well be the future

 

[horribleherk]

ive got half a million things i shouldve been doing around the house so i did the responsible thing & went fishing the trimming & yardwork will just have to wait did some island hopping too one of the delta islands has feral pigs on it another has goats had a good day

 

[Ray black]

That's sweet man, looks like a great day. Anytime on the water is a good day. We have an island on our lake in Minnesota that has goats all over it. The fishing back home is awesome, not that many stripers though.

Temps during the day get up to around 100 right now but they are manageable. Night time it seems that it's hotter... Weird

Running this time and starting a thread for it:
SLH - 5
SW - 5
Sour Diesel - 6
Shoreline - 5

I picked up that shoreline and am looking forward to it dude!!

 

[Ray black]

Good day man, I want to pet that pig! Cool

 

[horribleherk]

yeah we fed the pig some chips minnesota is beautiful country & i hear some of those lakes have muskie & northern pike that get pretty aggressive i fish the delta a lot cause its here 15-20 min. from the house & the boats in the water so for now striper fishing in the delta will have to do i had to sell my larger boat when the economy went south but ive learned from the whole experience & clawing my way out of debt im gonna restore what has been lost & another boat with a cabin is in the works not as big or fancy as the other one but still nice enough for me when my pancraes quit shit got rough for awhile but now im working & have an insulin pump,able to work ,do a few things, ive promised myself to slow down & enjoy life a little ive came to the realization i might live long enough to retire[yeah im an old fart of 57] never visualized myself as living this long HAHA but here i am & life aint half bad i think im gonna change nutrients or my medium as as my stuff dries out some of the smell seems to be fading been thinking of going back to the 3 gal smart pots & happy frog

That's a serious boat, nice man. I am 32 and saving for a lake home of my own in Minnesota, it's a dream but could be real someday. My wife n I have family there and go home all the time. I ice fish in the winter and troll for northerns n Muskie in the summer.

Are those walleyes!? Looks like it. Taking it easy, smelling the roses, fishing, and growing good dope that's for me. And a little Jiu Jitsu too

 

[Ray black]

[horribleherk]

[Ray black]

Cool man, I got a couple kayaks too. The wife n I like to head out but don't catch much in AZ. Just a fun time though

New thread almost up

 

[Ray black]

Hey Herc, where should i start this?

Is it a journal or a forums thread?

 

[horribleherk]

hey ray i used to post in the strain section or general growing & the mods would move them here anyway so i just put every grow here as thats where they end up anyway ill be back here in a bit with some pics

 

[horribleherk]

hey ray here is some changes i have made &/or gonna make im now using 6'' rockwool blocks & now just stuffing enough coco to fill the 2 gal smart pots which isnt much im gonna change the nutes over to the floranova which has minerals & trace elements not found in the 3-part flora series ive used it in the past cost a little more but it performs also has a schedule that uses all the addatives i already have im not getting as much of that pungent smell that i got with the happy frog soil & as you already know the smell is one of the things that make this strain happen it compliments the high i trimmed some of the bud when i chopped it also dont smell as good as the untrimmed stuff the coco & nutrient combo i use seems to lack something og kush strains need my friend grows in rockwool slabs & uses the same 3-part nutes his og stuff [holy grail & skywalker] reeks more than mine ive narrowed it down to the coco he also uses r/o water & i use tap water i wont know untill i final trim what the verdict is i might just be trippin but i prefer the floranova nutes anyhow i cant wait until you get your thread kicked off here is todays pics things are going good i ran out of cal-mag so i put some epsom salt in when i fed theyre greening up so im guessing it really does work also a pic of my weed eating border collie he really likes helping me out

 

[horribleherk]

just got a little lesson from the ol school of hard knocks the stuff i trimmed wet still smells like hay the stuff i left on the limb to dry on its own smells really good & has the skywalker smell to it the bud on the left dried on the limb the one on the right i trimmed wet visually there is not much difference but to me the one on the left looks more sparkly & maybe lighter green & definatly smells better i hope to regain some of the smell in the cure as 1/2 of my plants were trimmed wet

@Herk - Nice stripers! We fish for them in Lake Powell a lot. Been getting bigger the last few years as the older ones are gorging on the smaller ones. Powell is overpopulated with them and they raised the 25 fish limit to no limit about 7 - 8 yrs ago. Catching less fish the last few, but larger fish. Caught a few 6 - 9 pounders last spring.

@ray - sorry for the hijack, nice grow!....love the Skywalker! The force is with you.

Lmao I have dog that eats about anything as well, awesome dog bro. Dogs are the best.
Had my boy for about tens years now.

I use tap water as well, interested in the difference. I have run a couple strains that cannot handle the water and I have to stabilize it for a couple days before feeding.

Maybe the smell will return after it cures more (the ones you trimmed early) ?

 

[horribleherk]

hey ray i dont know if its the brand of coco or if its the nutes & the coco combined but its gonna take some work to make the next grow happen but i have an idea & it involves soil @ jcommerce stripers around here come in off the saltwater to spawn twice a year & some are residents as well youre allowed 2 a day 18'' or over my boss caught a 38lb.'er last year. my best 17lb.

 

[horribleherk]

put the stuff i trimmed wet into a container this morning to see if the curing process brings around some of the smell

 

[Ray black]

That's a big fish man, bet they fight like hell too.

Back to soil you think? Curious how the container will help, hope it does dude

 

[horribleherk]

hey ray im off to work this morning so my post is gonna be short i smoked some last night & the high is as good as ever whats its coming up short on is that x-mas tree/funk reek through 3 bags effect i got in happy frog using the same nutes i have a larger homemade tub & 4 gal. pots im gonna leave them in the cloth smart pots [2-gal] & sit them in the middle of the larger pots & add the happy frog just kind of going back to what will give me what i love so much about this strain tonight ill come by & check out your thread my hydro coco did the exact thing on holy grail too next time i do hydro ill go back to rockwool or possibly a system ive been putting together in my head all in all i sacrificed quality for quantity ive always wanted to do an organic grow too which i think this skywalker would really shine pheno #3+ is catching my fancy be back w/pics tonight
